It really is one of our biggest games now.

Super job vs Drogs ( don't know as yet what the performance was like - but does it really matter away from home? ). Always a tough place to get points.

With SPA getting a good hammering, and obviously everyone there has one eye on the Cup Final, it opens up a 5 point gap between us.
We need to win - BUT MUST NOT LOOSE - up there on Monday as they still have 2 games in hand.

Heard two of their players got nasty injuries ( obviously Livingstone took another dramatic dive but landed akwardly this time - not like the game vs us earlier in the year ).

My one fear is that freak Deleany.......he scored again last night. He has always been trouble for us. Derek and Dan better get their jumping shoes on and let's not have too many high balls into Doyler at the other end.
Does anyone remember Jimmy Mulligan's last game vs UCD when the freak was marking him. We kept pumping high in at him......it was actually comical........anyway, I digress!

The Cup can play funny tricks on a team so now is the time to put one over on that shower.

Europe here we come........!

A win is absolutely vital, it will put us 8 points ahead of Pats meaning that even if they win their 2 games in hand we'll still be two points ahead of them.
We lose and the gap is only 2 points and, with their games in had, that won't be enough.
It's really big game for us. Hopefully we'll have a lot of support at it to get behind the lads.
Come on the Rebel Army.:ball:

There's still a load of big games left but the gap that a win would create would be brilliant, i for one won't be adding the points up until the game is over, Pat's gave Bohs a few scares even after they were three up on friday, i reckon at home they're favourites tonight.
are there many heading up tonight????

Pats always play at 7.45. I'm going on that basis that its that time anyway.

It's certainly one of the biggest games this season. Pat's probably (and hopefully) will have one eye on the Cup Final which could work very nicely to our advantage, as could their injuries. The Europe sentiment is one I very much echo. However, as others have said, they do have 2 games in hand so at worst we'll need a draw, all 3 points more likely, though. And NO f**k ups whatsoever for the rest of the season.

MBABAZI FORCED TO RETIRE




It is with great regret that St Patrick's Athletic FC, announces the retirement of it's Ugandan International Charles Mbabazi Livingstone. Last Friday during the match with Bohemians the player felt very unwell and was brought to St James' Hospital, where he underwent rigorous tests. While the player has recovered fully and was well enough to leave hospital today the medical advice was that he should retire from competitive sport. further details to follow

SEI......

.......As Northofthelee said I didn't know the extent of his injury when I posted the original piece. It was meant to be just a bit of crack.

It is devastating for the guy and my heart goes out to him.

Terrible news.

Hope Pat's do something for the guy now because he has been a great servant to the LoI ....... not just them.
